[asterisk-users] g729 and polycoms problem

		Not an expert at reading Polycom config files, but guess g729 and ulaw are both preference 1 isn't it?

hey... you have in your sip.conf configuration "canreinvite=no"...
think this may be a problem: since Asterisk will always stay in the
path of the RTPs, I think it might need to have the proper transcoder,
as it does not, then the error arises... at least that's what I think :)

set "canreinvite=yes" (or just comment it since that's the default) on both parties and try again.

Let me know if it works.

Still having the same problem. i modified the sip.cfg in order to make
g729 the first choice:

voice.codecPref.G711A="3" voice.codecPref.G729AB="1"
voice.codecPref.IP_4000.G711Mu="1" voice.codecPref.IP_4000.G711A="2"
voice.codecPref.IP_4000.G729AB=""/>

Cheers,
Santiago
